Over the
last
few decades,
media
has become part and parcel of our lives irrespective of age,gender and profession. Different genres of programs like romance,fantasy,comedy and anime are widely watched by a large population worldwide. Among them action shows and movies entice audiences, they
also
try to stimulate these action sequences and end up in dangerous situations
such
as committing criminal offences. So, I think the
media
does promote
violence
and in
this
essay, I will provide my viewpoint.
Children who get exposed to
violence
in
media
tend to play aggressively. Violent films and video games incite teenagers to engage in atrocities. SuperHero movies like SpiderMan,Hulk,IronMan and Avengers inspire adolescence to get frenzy about their action stunts and try to emulate them without proper supervision and end up incapacitating themselves or others which can lead to fatal injuries. These characters show manly behaviour which influences them to fight with others and defeat enemies but what they don't understand is in reality things are completely contrasted.
For instance
, ShaktiMan is one of the Superhero series widely watched by millions of children in India,

some kids unknowingly trying to copy the stunts had lost their lives which created widespread outrage for the ban of
such
shows.
Secondly
, in crime shows and robbery movies like MoneyHeist,Dhoom and Catch Me if you can influence people and give ideas to those who plan to stage
such
events, they try to make
such
lunatics in order to grab public attention or quickly settle in life.
For instance
, there are many robbery cases recorded in European countries and India after the release of the famous MoneyHeist web series aired on Netflix.
Moreover
,
media
are being used as a platform to spread fake news and disrupt peace and result in communal
violence
, citizens are often misguided by
such
incidents.
For example
, a few months ago in India, a spokesperson of a National party wrongly quoted Prophet Mohammed which lead to a severe backlash within the country and enmity among the friendly Arab nations since it offended a particular community. People who forwarded
such
messages were targeted and beheaded on the streets of Udaipur and other cities.
Thus
, to conclude,
although
a lot of humans are violent in nature, the projection of
violence
in
media
in various forms has definitely aggravated the rate of violent crimes in society.So, we should be aware of what programs we watch and not get carried away and behave responsibly.
